Ali Kersten

I am an established therapist with experience providing therapy in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I primarily work with teenagers and women who are struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anger, relational issues, and trauma, as well as with those trying to navigate new phases of life. I am certified in perinatal mental health and work with clients struggling to navigate various issues that arise during, following, or in absence of their pregnancy.

I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. Each person is unique, and treatment should be customized to meet your needs and accomplish your goals. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as it is evidenced-based and promotes changes for people suffering from anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also frequently implement aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as this promotes skill development and Solution Focused Brief Therapy as this helps with problem-solving.

Beginning therapy can seem daunting. My goal when working with clients is for the process to feel easier & for them to feel comfortable speaking openly & honestly about difficult & highly personal things. I seek to assist all of my clients with implementing strategies needed in order to achieve their personal mental health goals and be happier and healthier people overall.
